Cynthia asks . . .

I haven't raised the basic fee for being on Stroke of Genius once during this time period. Am I being too soft?
Yes, probably. If I was doing work and hadn't had a raise in 4 years, I'd feel at the very least that I was being taken advantage of. I'm in no position to tell you what your market will bear, but I doubt that regular, modest adjustments to your fees would drive away the serious artist or discourage a potential client of merit and determination. Some professional licenses cost more each year as the licensee becomes more experienced and, presumably, has increased earning potential. If an artist finds value year after year by having a "share" in SOG, why shouldn't you share in that value as well? And anyway, SOG fees must be tax deductible, right?

If this turns out to be a bad idea with unfortunate consequences, I will deny that I ever posted it.
